ATToR NE Y United States Patent 3,089,277 REVOLVABLE TOY Milous Reese, in, 2117 18th St., Birmingham 8, Ala. Filed Dec. 26, 1961, Ser. No. 162,012 1 Claim. (Cl. 46-61) This invention relates to a revolvable toy. It has for its main object to provide such a toy that will appear interesting and amusing to juveniles.

Further objects are to provide such a toy that will be highly satisfactory for the purpose intended, simple in structure, cheap to manufacture, easy to use and keep in working condition, and very durable.

Other objects and advantages will appear from the drawing and specification.

By referring generally to the drawing it will be observed that FIG. 1 is a side elevational View of a toy made according to this invention in its expanded condition.

FIG. 2 is a side elevational view of the toy in its contracted condition.

FIG. 3 is an end View showing picture of a bird there- Similar reference numerals refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

Referring to the drawing in detail it will be seen that the toy comprises a center container body in two similar parts 1 and 2 and provided with four similar holes 3 positioned equal distances apart around each container part. These holes are provided for air passage. The container parts are mounted in fixed condition upon a hub 4. A string 5' is attached by one end to the hub. Each container part has a bellows structure 6 attached thereto. On the outer end 7 of each bellows a disc 8 is attached and is adapted for a picture to be thereon as shown by the bird in FIG. 3.

From the foregoing it will appear that by manual means the user can take hold of the free end of the string and swing the toy around horizontally, or move it upward and downward causing the string to wind and unwind around the hub.

3,089,277 Patented May 14, 1963 The toy may be made of any material suitable for the purpose that is flexible for the bellows parts, but rigid for the containers and round ends for pictures. Also the toy may be made in different sizes and capacities.

While I have shown and described the preferred embodiment of my invention, I do not wish to limit same to the exact and precise details of structure, and I reserve the right to make all modifications and changes so long as they remain within the scope of the invention and the following claim.

Having described my invention I claim:

A revolvable toy comprising, a center container body having two equal in size parts with equal in size air vent holes therein, a hub, said container parts being attached in fixed condition upon said hub with space between the inner walls of the container parts, a comparatively long flexible string, one end of said string being attached to said hub with the other end of the string being free, said free end being adapted for use by manual means; two similar in shape bellows, each bellows being shaped with a comparatively large round end with its other end round and small, one bellows being attached by its large end to one part of the center container body, the other bellows being attached in the same manner to the other part of the center container body; two similar in size discs, each bellows having one of said discs attached on its small end.
